DECISION
These are two classification grievances which were heard
together on consent. Mr. Grant Brooks and Mr. Ken Whitney are
employed in the Dietary section of the St. Thomas Psychiatric
Hospital in St. Thomas, Ontario. BrOoks' position is
classified as Clerk 3 Supply. He grieves that his position
is improperly classified and seeks reclassification as Clerk
4 Supply. Whitney's position is classified as Clerk 2 Supply.
He grieves that his position is also improperly classified,
but he does not lay claim to a higher class in the Cl~rk
Supply series. Instead he seeks "a Berry order" directing
that the employer find or c~eate an appropriate classification
for him.
The two grievors testified for the union. The employer
called no witnesses to testify on its behalf. The grievors
work in the Ingredient Control Area within the Dietary Section
of the hospital. It is common ground that the Ingredient
Control Area is a "stockroom" within the meaning of the class
series. Food items, (frozen, refrigerated and dry) are
received and stored in this area, and issued to the various
users within the hospital. Brooks holds the position of
Ingredient Control Clerk and Whitney the position of Assistant
Ingredient Control Clerk. They are the only employees in the
area. They report to the Production Coordinator, Mr. Dan
McIlhargey.
The Clerk Supply class series, including the preamble,
is attached to this decision marked as Appendix "A". The
first task of the Board is to determine whether or not the
grievors are properly classified within their existing
classifications. If they are, that ends the inquiry and the
grievances fail. If the Board finds that the grievors are
.improperly classified, then it must proceed in the case of Mr.
Brooks, to determine whether his position properly fits the
higher classification he seeks.
The test for deciding whether a position is improperly
classified has been repeatedly stated by this Board. While
different words have been used by different panels to describe
the test, the substantial requirements, of the test have been
consistent. A typical statement of the test is found in R__e
Aird, 1349/87 (Sloan) at p. 8 as follows:
The onus is on the grievor to show that he is
actually performing a job, the essence or core
duties of which do not fit within the class standard
to which it has been assigned by the employer ...
With that test in mind we turn to the relevant facts
relating to each grievance with a view to deciding whether the
positions in question are improperly classified.
The Brooks ~rievance
A review of the Clerk 3 Supply class definition discloses
that there are four groupings of employees, who are covered by
the class definition. The four groups are: dealt with in four
separate paragraphs. There is agreement 'that the three last
paragraphs do not apply td Brooks. The die,pure is whether his
position comes within the first paragraph of the Clerk 3
Supply definition, which reads:
This class covers the positions of employees
who alone, maintain a very small stockroom where
the record keeping function is ele:~entary. They
are responsible for checking that the correct amount
and type of goods are received, maintaining
security, issuing stock to authorized persons and
checking stock levels.
There can be little doubt on the basis of the evidence
that Brooks is responsible "for checking 'that correct amount
and type of goods are received"; "for maintaining security";
for "issuing stock to authorized persons"; and for "checking
stock levels"; as described by the first paragraph of the
Clerk 3 Supply class definition. No real issue was taken with
regard to those aspects of the class definition.
Counsel's argument that Brooks' position does not fit the
description in that paragraph is made on the basis that the
stockroom which Brooks maintains is not "a very small
stockroom" as envisaged by that definition. Counsel points
5
out that the preambl~ provides that the overriding criterion
in making allocations in this series is the size of the
stockkeeping operation. It is counsel's submission that
Brook's position cannot be said to involve the mainte'nance of
a "very sm~ll stockroom" and that therefore on the basis of
the overriding criterion, he is improperly classified.
In support of his position, counsel adduced evidence that
the Ingredient Control Area that Brooks is responsible for
comprises of a number of different rooms spread over a large
area. It was also established that Brooks is assisted by a
full-time assistant (the other grievor in this proceeding, Mr.
Whitney). Counsel also led evidence of certain duties
performed by Brooks, which he contends were outside the Clerk
3 Supply definition but properly fell within the Clerk 4
Supply definition.
'The preamble recognizes that in making allocations in the
Clerk Supply series, the overriding criterion is the size "as
defined in this preamble". "Size'of operation" is defined in
the preamble not by the size of the area or the number of
rooms, but by "the number of staff required for the operation
of a particular unit". It goes on to define four sizes of
stockkeeping operations. The four sizes recognized are:
small, medium, large and very large.
6
The Ingredient Control Area consists of Brooks and and
assistant. Therefore, it cannot fit the definition of a
medium stockroom, (which requires a supervisor and two to four
subordinates) or a large or very large stockroom. On the
other hand it can fit the definition of a small stockroom,
i.e. a small stockroom operated by one employee and an
assistant.
The Clerk 3 Supply definition refers to a ve__gXl small
stockroom, as opposed to a small stockroom. In addition, it
is said to cover the positions of employees who maintain such
a small stockroom alone. It is on these two grounds that the
union submits that the Clerk 3 Supply~definition does not fit
Brooks' position because his stockroom i~5 not a "very" small
stockroom and because it is not maintained alone by Mr.
Brooks.
As noted, the preamble to the class series contains a
definition of sizes of operation. It is an exhaustive, as
opposed to an inclusive, definition. In other words, only the
four sizes of operation~ are to be reco{;nized in allocating
classes within this series. Having provided such an
exhaustive definition consisting of only four sizes of
operation, it in inconceivable that a class definition would
be created to cover a stockroom size that. does not fit any of
the four defined sizes. The use of the word "very" certainly
is troublesome. The smallest stockroom recognized by the
definitions of sizes is the small stockroom. In our opinion
despite the use of the word "very", the operation size
contemplated by the Clerk 3 Supply definition"is that of a
small stockroom as defined in the preamble.
The next issue is the significance, if any, of the use
of the term "alone" in the Clerk 3 Supply class definition.
We have concluded that the class definition must refer to a
small stockroom, because it possibly cannot refer to any of
the other three sizes of stockroom recognized by the preamble.
Since the definition of "small stockroom" allows for an
employee and an assistant, it is our conclusion that the
existence of an assistant does not exclude Brooks' position
from the Clerk 3 Supply Class definition. We do not
understand the term "alone" used in this context to mean,
"without assistance". In our view the availability of the
services of a full-time assistant does not take Mr. Brooks'
position outside the Clerk 3 Supply class definition.
We have considered the evidence adduced in an attempt to
show that Mr. Brooks performed duties outside his
classification. It is not difficult to comprehend that there
may be overlapping duties performed in stockrooms of different
sizes. It is precisely because of that, that the overriding
criterion for classification is said to be the size of
8
operation rather than the nature of the duties performed.
Looking at Mr. Brooks' job as a whole, we cannot conclude that
his position does not properly fit the Clerk 3 Supply class
standard, eventhough he may perform some duties that are not
referred to expressly in the class definition. The Class 3
Supply definition mentions only 4 specific duties. The fact
that he performs other stockroom duties not mentioned in the
paragraph does not necessarily mean that those duties fall
outside the scope of this class. Besides, many of the duties
listed by Mr. Books as being outside the Clerk 3 Supply
definition are performed by him subject to the direct approval
of his supervisor. In the totality of the circumstances, we
cannot conclude that these duties are not properly encompassed
within the Clerk 3 Supply class definition.
Accordingly, we find that Mr. Brooks' position is not
improperly classified and his grievance is hereby dismissed.
The Whitney Grievance
As noted, Mr. Whitney's position is classified as Clerk
2 supply. The Clerk 2 Supply class definition does not make
reference to any size of the stockroom. An incumbent in this
class therefore can be employed in any of the four sizes of
operations recognized, provided that he or she fits the class
definition. The distinguishing feature of this class is that
the incumbent performs "a variety of routine manual and
clerical duties in stockrooms". The union's submission simply
is that Mr. Whitney's duties as Assistant Ingredient Control
Clerk are not routine or simple. It was point'ed out that
Whitney checks the deliveries in order to ensure that the
correct quality and quantity of dairy products are'received;
that he shares the locking-up (security) duties with Brooks;
that .he does the ordering of the dairy products; that he
checks the stock level and decides how much to order; and that
he fills in for Brooks during the latter's vacations and other
absences.
We are satisfied that these duties comfortably fit the
Clerk 2 Supply class standard. For most part a daily job
description established by management provides in detail his'
daily tasks within a time-table. In relation to most products
the employer has established a par value.' In those cases, it
takes a matter of a simple mathematical calculation to decide
the quantity of goods to be ordered. Where there is no par
value, Mr. Whitney has to use his judgement based on his
observation of how much of a particular product is usually
used. Or he may seek information from the cafeteria staff or
the kitchen staff. That in our view does not take those
duties outside the realm of routine and simple duties.
10
As for security duties, the evidence is clear that it is
Mr. Brooks' responsibility and not Mr. Whitney's. It is
apparent that Brooks and Whitney get on cordially and help
each other. The fact that Whitney shares ~ome of the security
functions in these circumstances is not significant for
classification purposes.
Similarly, in our view, for classification purposes not
much weight can be attached to the evidence that an employee
fills in for an incumbent in a higher class during the
latter's absences. Those acting duties are irrelevant in
deciding the appropriate classification of Mr. Whitney's own
position. The collective agreement in article 6.1.1 provides
a form of acting pay "Where an employee is assigned
temporarily to perform the duties of a position in a
classification with a higher salary maximum", provided the
assignment is for a period of excess of five consecutive
working days. We have no evidence as to whether Mr. Whitney
met the prerequisites for acting pay when be replaced Mr.
Brooks and whether he in fact received acting pay on those
occasions. Nevertheless, the fact that the collective
agreement makes special provision for acting pay supports our
conclusion that acting assignments do nol: go to determining
an employee's classification.
11
In our opthion ~the duties relied on by Mr. Whitney as
falling outside the class definition are reasonably
comprehended within the class standard or are so ancillary to
'the functions anticipated by the class definition, that there
is no substantial departure' from the class definition. It
cannot be said that any of those duties performed by Mr.
Whitney do not fall within the general description of the
functions anticipated by the Clerk 2 Supply class definition,
namely routine and simple tasks relating to receiving,
storage, handling and distribution of equipment and supDlies
in a stockroom. Accordingly, Mr. Whitney's grievance is
hereby dismissed.

APPENDIX A
PRF~MBLE
· CLER~ SUPPLY SERIE.$
These classes cover the positions of employees who perform a variety of
clerical, manual, admtinistrative repair or purchasing functions that are common
t~ stockkeeping operations iii the Provincial Govermment Service. If any
emFloyee ~peciali:~s in only one of t~e many tasks involved in the operation
of a ~tocf,~oom, the position should be classified in another series more
appropriate to the type of work. For example, positions concerned entirely
with the'clerical recording of transactions should be al[ocatej to the Clerk,
General ser~es. Positions ia which purchasing is th~ .~ain function should
~ot be classified iu this series.
Many factors, such as the mainte~%nce of the necessary ledger or other
records~ inventory control, establishment of minimum - m~xim, lm~ requirements
etc.: are common to all stockrooms and vary si§nificantl}- only to the extent
that the size of the stockkeeping function varies. Thus, the overriding
criterion in making allocations in this series is the size, as defined in
this premnble, of the sgockkeeping function rather than any variation in the
clerical or ad~t[nistratiYe functions associated with it.
Supervisor~, positions covered by.the classes Clerk 3 to Clerk 6, Supply
... will ~e assigned tO o~e class higher in the series if purchasing, as defined
below, is one of the functions requiring a minimmu of 20Z of the working time. '
F,F,F.IX iT ION:
5i:e of O_peratiom:
Because of the tremendous variation in the nat~tre and organization of
stockeeping function, s between depar~nien~.~, the nmnber of staff required for
ti:e operation of a particular unit is the only practical ~asis of comparison?
for classifica'tion purposes, in all departments except HeaLth ar~ Reform '
Institutions. In the latter depar~.~ents~ patients or inmates are often
employed in stockkeeping operations. Consequently in Ontario Hospitals, ~he
,size, in terms of bed capacity, is the criteria used. The ~i:e alone of a..'
Re£or;n Institution ignores the possible existence of industries, which
complicate the stockkeeping function, therefore the value of annual stock
turnover is u~ed as a basis of comparison for the determination of level.
Stockrooms having less than [00 diffe:-ent ty~es of stock are~ for the
purpo~;e of this cla~ series, considered to be equivaienC to .~¢cific
speciali=ed sections of larger stockrooms, amd the positions wit[ be

51200-14
Ty~e~ of Stock_:,
Each type of stock normally requires a separate bin card and consists of
a number of identical items.
_S.t oc kroom:
An area specifically designated for the receipt~ secure storage and issue
of equipnent and/or supplies and which requires the full-time attendance of
one or more employees. Cabinets, closets or cupboard lock-ups used for the
storing of small quantities of materials are excluded.
SUBSIDL%RY STOCKROOM:
A stockroom which ~s physically separated {remotely or by partition or as
a secure compound) from the other supply areas and which, although operate~ as
an entity, forms part of a larger unit of supply organization.
SDeciali=ed Section:
A component unit ~f a large stockroom having a specialized function e.g.
pl,m,bing supplies, clothing, linens, office supplies, etc. which may or may
not be physically separated or~artitioned from the main supply arez.
Apart from the exceptions mentioned abov.e, the sizes of stock~.eeping
o~.rations are defined as follows:
Small Stockroom-This is a small s~ockroom operated by one employee or by.
one employee and an assistant.
Medit~n Stockroom - This is a stockroom which requires a supervisor and. two tc
fo~w subordinates. ,.-'
La~e Stockroom -A stockroom which requires a supervisor and five to nine ,
subordinates.
Very Large Stockroom_- A stockroom which requires a supervisor and a
minimum of ten subordinates.
Suo..'rvi~ion:
Pos~itious supervi.~ed lnch, de only those filled by temporary or permanent
Civil Servants or by centinuou~ly emF.'oyed publi~ servants who reFort to the
~upervisor for discipline, work assignment and administrative control. This
includes all clerk supply, clerk general, machine operating, clerk messenger
a~d driver positions concerned in the overall ~peration of the duties assigned
to the stockroom su~ervisor.
No credit for supervision will be given for non-continuous help, or fer
employees temporarily on loan from other,organi.-ations. Neither is 'credit
given for amployees who report to the super;'isor purely for administrative
- convenience, when these employees are not involved in the operatien of the
stockroom or any of the a~iliary duties assigned to it.
PurchasinK:
In respect to stockroom operations involves locating suppliers,
interviewing salesmen, evaluating prices submitted by tender, deciding en the
articles to purchase and the actual placing of pm-chase orders or the
of purchase orders to a superior for signature. No credit can 2e ~i%-en for
the purchasing function unless the supervisor is held responsible for the
articles purchased and the quotation prices accepted. The automatic
requisitioning of s~andard i~ems or the ordering of standard items from
assigned sources is excluded from purchasing under this definition.
